Release 3.18.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 3.18.0. This release brings photo-optimized question types and lots of small improvements to ticket shop and backend.

Big thanks go to Alexander Dalen, astrocbxy, Felix Rindt, Irmantas Marozas, Maarten van den Berg, Mohamet Tawfiq, and Tim Neumann who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 3.18.0 is now available for installation via pip. The new docker images will appear on Docker over the next few hours. All customers of pretix Hosted are already using the new version and do not need to take any action.

New license

This is the first version of pretix released under our new license. You should not upgrade if you do not want to or cannot comply with the new license. As part of these changes, pretix now inclues a settings dialogue to check your compliance with the license and configure the required attribution in the page footer.

PAYONE

We've released a new plugin adding integration of the popular German payment provider PAYONE. For a self-hosted install, you can find the integration plugin on GitHub or PyPI.

File questions: Portrait validation

pretix has long supported asking attendees to upload files during checkout, but we've always just stored these files untouched without further validation or modification.

A common use case for file upload questions includes getting portrait pictures of attendees to print on badges, often similar to an ID card. When creating a file upload question, you can now specify that the question should only be used for portrait pictures.

If you do so, instead of the general file upload field, pretix will show an upload button that only allows selecting valid images. After the image has been selected, we show a preview of the picture and allow to crop it to an aspect ratio of 3 : 4 with the relevant part of the picture.
